SALE OF BA.NK STOCK.-Ten shares stock of the National Bank of Newberry, were sold last week at one dollar and Swenty. A good evidence of the esti mation in which this stock is held. COTTON STATEMENT.-Mr. John A. Kinard, shipping agent, furnishes the following- statement: Bales shipped from 1st September, 1874, to 1st March, 1875, 20,964 bales. From 1st Septem ber, 1875, to 1st March, 1876, 17,594 showing a fall off in receipts of 3,370 bales. THIRD VOLUME.-Oir contemporary of the Progressive Age has entered its fourth volume, and we trust with a clear balance sheet between it and its pa trons. In common with others, it has entered on trying times financially, and K. though a prosperous year cannot be: lot$for, t we wish it success. LnrpS.-We are'4leased to learn that the Honorable Town Council has ordered the erection of a lamp on the South-west corner of Friend and Cald well streets, and also one at the corner near Mr. Pool's stables. Two desidera turns, for which we return thanks to -that body in behalf of the people. INCENDIA R IES.-The Frog Level burners were before United States Com missioner Boozer on Wednesday last. 'Jim Kinard, Henry Burt and.Dick Gib son were held at $1,000 bail for their appearance at court at Charleston in April. Silas Dawkins and George Bowers were discharged. [Union-Herald. To FARMiERS.-With pleasure we in 3 the attention of farmers to the Seed Planter and Guano Distributor, of which Mr. L. R. Marshall is the agent. It is said to be the very thing needed and the best machine of the kind ever before presented to the public. We don't prof'ess to know much about such things, but feel impressed with the great merits of the machine now brought to view. Go and look at it. THE CAUSE FOR RESPITE.-The rea sons given for the respite of Thompson, by the Governor, was that the prisoner was not spiritually prepared for the sol emn occasion. It would have been more in accord with the views of a ma jority of people, no doubt, if the time originally set had not been changed, but the more merciful course of giving him time to make his peace cannot be disputed. IMIPROVEMENT.-The new cast iron perforated covering to one of the cellar openings of Dr. Fant's !rug store, is a decided improvement over the old wood en frame which for so long a time served to trnp the unwary and frighten ladies and children. We are indebted to Mr. Jacob Singley, who fu-nished the iron, and to the Town Council, for work of laying, for this happy result, and to Dr. Fant who made the necessa ry arguments in the case. THE NEXT BEST THING.-Foulryoulng darkies, three boys and one miss, with tin buckets and knitting, strolled into our sanctum on Fi-day. On asking if they would have anything, they said no, they were just looking. They bad come to the hanging and were griev iously disappointed: Mr. Chamber-lion had no business to "despite" dat nigger )EATH.-The angel of death has again entered our midst, and laid his icy. withering hand upon one who was universally loved for her many lovely qualities of head and heart-Mrs. Sue Jones. For months she had been con fined to her bed and suffered much bodi ly pain, from all of which she was hap pily released on Monday morning last. Death loves a shining mark. NEwrr.rIY-WALHALLA-COLLEGE. -The Excelsior Literary Society of this instititution, will celebrate its anni versary on Friday evening, March 31st. "Should the Learned Profession be Con sidered More Honorable than the other Vocations," will be debated by D. A. Zeagler, in the affirmative, and C. M. Efird in the negative. On'the commit tee we notice G. B. Cromer, W. J. Beard and J. P. Hawkins, of South Carolina. Our thanks are tendered for an invitation to attend. COLuiNS OrEN.-We most respect fully inform our readers that the col uins of the HERALD stand invitingly open for free discussion on all topies of interest, political, social, financial, agri cultural or religious, and we wonder that while there are so many who seem anxious to throw light on various vexed questions which agitate the public mind in these days, that there are so few who give the public the benefit of their ad vice through the columns of a news paper. We cordially invite expression of views on all matters which may in terest the general public. DEATH FROM FIRE.-We learn with sincere sorrow that an interesting little child, about two years old, the son of Mr. David Crosson of this County, was accidentally burned on Wednesday last and died in a few hours after. The lit tle fellow was about a brush heap when his clothes came in contact with the flames, and before help could reach him he was burned past recovery. A death of this sudden and painful char acter excites the deepest sympathy, and we extend heartfelt conimisseration to the bereaved parents. TRANSFERS OF REAL ESTATE. E. T. and J. T.

It is earnestly hoped that; the people f Newberry will show their apprecia tion by attending in full force. Admission, twenty-five cents. THAKS.-Mr. Wmn. Hipp, of Pa maria, with a lively appreciation of our estimation for fish, sent us on Thurs day last a mess of lively, squirming cats, taken from Broad River in the neighborhood of the famous Cohee Hill. Mr. David Boland of our town assisted in the sport, and by whom we are in formed that in a little less than no time after their preparations were made they succeeded in the capture of eighty pounds, and would have been still more successful but for a high wind which arose and put an end to their pleasant sport. The specimens sent us were noble fellows, and the sight has excited in us an extraordinary desire to indulge in piscatorial adventure under the guid ance of such a famous fisher as Mr. Hipp. All we ask of him is to name the day, and if nothing arises to pre vent, we'll go down and assist in draw ing a few of them from their native element. In the meantime we beg him to accept thanks. The biggest day since Christmas was last Friday. It looked like the County had been scraped-emancipation day was not comparable to it. Immense preparation had been made for it by the cheap cook shops in the market-a noble institution by the way-and at an early hour the furnaces and cook stoves were heated to their utmost capacity, that the large crowd already beginning to pour in from every point of the comi pass might be provided for if it came hungry. The butcher stalls too were supplied with meat, as if expecting a greater demand than common. And they were not disappointed, for the crowd did come: spread, permeate and mix over all the public parts of the town. One good thing grew out it, however, if nothing else, every branch Saturday Nigats Fire. One of the narrowest escapes from a wide-spread and terrific conflagration occu.rred in this place on last Saturday night, for which providentially our citiL zens are indebted to the absence of wind as the first great cause, to the highly successful working of the Hook and Ladder Company with the Babcock Extinguishers, and the energetic labors of the citizens generally, both white and black, who WORKED AS NEVER MEN WORKED BEFORE in this latitude. They saw the immi nent danger, and let themselves out to battle with the fierce element in a man ner which entitles them to the highest meed of praise. Iut to the fire, which luckily too occurred at the early supper hour. It originated on the premises of Mr. T. P. Slider in the middle room of the kitchen, in which was no fire-place, and in which room was a bed CONTAINING A SLEEPING CHILD. It was first discovered by the mother of the child, who gave the alarm, and Mr. Slider coming in from the street, rushed into the kitchen only to discover that the 11ame was beyond his control. For tunately, the child was rescued at im minent peril. So rapid was the spread of the flame that the kitchen was soon enveloped in one sheet of fire, and be ing close to the main dwelling that too took fire, but THE HOOK AND LADDER BOYS, with their extinguishers soon had con trol there, when their attention had to be turned to the stables of Mr. J. P. Pool, but,a few yards from the burning kitchen, over the entire rear end of which the insidious flames were licking their forked tongues. And here was the great danger, if the fire got headway at this point it would no doubt make a clean sweet of Pool's commodious build ing, with its ACRE OF SHINGLED ROOFS, and but a step across engulf the stables of Messrs, Mayes & Martin, and with such momentum as these two structures would give it, the imagination sickens at the thought of what would next fol low. Another fearfully apprehended idea was that the large and command ing structure, owned by Mr. Robert L. McCaughrin, and occupied by Mr. T. F. Harmon, and in which also is THE HERALD PRINTING OFFICE, (although considered fir eproof) and next door the Dank, might also take fire, for the distance between these and Pool's stables is inconsiderable, and imme diately underneath and close to these tivo buildings ranges a long, shingled covered shed which presented great at traction. Fortunately, however, none of these lattei- fears were realized, will ing hearts and stout arms and SKILLED OPERATORS ON THlE BABCOCK'S put a stop to the fire just at the point of greatest danger-and what might have been an immense loss was nipped al most in the bud. Mr. Slider's house is somewhat disfigured, but not seriously damaged, and his furniture injured to some extent, his principal loss being the kitchen and contents, and almost his entire fencing, which was pulled down to give access to the anxious and willing crowd of workers. His pro perty was not insured. Mr. Pool's sta bles presents the appearance of a visit from a cyclone in the debris of scattered shingles and sheeting lying about in all directions, while the signs of the volun teer axemen are to be seen on all sides. Mr.. Pool's loss is covered by insurance. In the summing up-but for the Hook and Ladder's Extinguisbers and the skillful manner in which the com pany worked, and the heroic labors of citizens of all classes, Newberry to-day would have been mourning over a calamity as bad if not worse than that experienced in 1866. Without inten tion to detract from others, we almost forgot to mention that there were sev eral extinguishers present on the occa sion owned by gentlemen of the town, and which did noble work. All honor and credit to every one who aided in the good work.. FR1DA.-On Friday last-the day set apart for the execution of Thompson, one of the murderers of Hayne D. Reid-the town was packe<t by a vast throng of people, black and white, men, women and children, each one full of mobid curiosity, anxious to witness the dying struggles of the wretched ciimi nal who it was expected would receive the benefit of death by hanging. And le disappointment was keenly felt when it was ascertained that the scene on which they expected to feast their eyes and gloat over had been postponed to a later day. Of the large majority of those present on that occasion, no better could be exp)ected-it was looked u)on by thenm in the light of a public entertainment and a frolic, and there fore had to be witnessed; but ive can find no excuse for the better informed who were here, if they were impelled by the same desire. And we are glad to know of many who (lid visit the towvn on that day that they came on business, ad would not have seen the execution had it taken place. We believe that the exeution of criminals should not be public, andl that the moral effect would be more keenly felt and the pub lic welfare more greatly subserved if those things wvere done privately. Pub lic hangings are demoralizing and blunt the feelings, and men become used to them and the effect is lost. The scene onFia,tedns0hog ugn aoutd the ee stongs ualth about the streets, stopping up all the INCIDENTS OF THE FIRE.-AMong the most noticeable was the man in the window calling for a bucket of water, loud and vociferous were his calls. A kingdom was not too much for one bucket full. He got it too, but had no use for it after all. The other, one of our most popular dry goods clerks, per haps would have yielded his bucket for half that price had he known he was going to fall over a bale of fodder and wet himself ;ll over. The least excited of the crowd was the gentleman who charged up to the flames on horseback, and the other man who threw a basin and pitcher from the window and care fully brought down stairs a pair of iron fire-dogs. Not far off a trade wa-s be ing made, and the seller remonstrated with, by it being no time for selling or buying, as the fire was near. Feel the walls, said John, and tell me when they are hot. How many fell through the opened roof, or slipped off the slippery shed, we know not, but sympathize with all, and more especially with the poor fellow who grasped the hot ladder, those who lost their whiskers and were otherwise burned, and also another fellow who had his hand split open by the other fellow while cutting a haltered horse loose. These are a few of the many. But the main feature, and the best, was that the fire was managed 4 in a way which reflects credit on the 1 itizens of Newberry,and which has run 4 the Hook and Ladder stock up to a very high premium. ABOUT THE Towx AND COUNTY. The weather is fine. Now is the time to put everything in order for Spring operations in garden ing. A first rate way to raise beets-take hold of the tops and pull. D. B. Wheeler & Co. have a splendid article of Flour-makes lovely bread' and superb biscuits. Try it. M. Foot's cheap winter goods offer rare inducements to bargain hunters. The little boy fiddler is the latest street novelty. Notwithstanding the shocking manner in which he rendered "Listen to the Mocking Bird," his col lections amounted to fifteen cents. Who comes next? Later-two seedy looking Italians, with tremendous pedal extremities, who made most excellent mulsic on harp and fiddle with their digitals, One of our prominent butchers was seen the other morning feeling the rmp of a starved cow. We may look for some extra beef at an early date. This is leap year-and every woman has an inalienable right to make love and the fire in the morning. No one getting married now! What is the matter with the young people? We assure the unmarried that it is just as easy as falling off a log, and decided ly more pleasant. The necessity for a newspaper will be greater this year than ever before. Every man should have one so as to keep posted on general affairs, not only in regard to County and State, but in National news. Subscribe at once. The farmers of Newberry are very sensibly hard at work, and if the sea sons are propitious this year they will be in good condition this fall. Oats and wheat are doing finely and the prospect for a large harvest is good. Much valuable time is lost in stand ing about the streets, finding fault in the conduct of others, and in grumbling about the times. If every man would attend to his own business, and look the situation squarely in the face, the aspect would be better. The fame of Phifer's auction extendeth to the country, and darkeys make long trips to get fifteen cent hats. A nice young man in town says that as soon as the times get a little tighter he intends to marry. The poor fellow who went about last Monday snuffing and blowing his nose explained that "she didn't have ady fire id the parlor Sudday dight, ad id dwas blabe code." A prodigiously penetrating and per spicacious editor says that we have en tered upon a year of patriotic proces sions, parades, pomp, puff and powder. Newberry is innocent. Newberry is not the only town in the State which complains of dullness. The lament runs through the whole of our exchanges. It is passing strange that many of the Newberry merchants are not adver tising-they seem afraid to draw atten tion to their goods. A lady remarked in our hearing that -had the pret tiest calicoes for this season she had ever seen, and seemed surprised that no mention had been made of their arrival through the papers. The sexton of the Methodist Church found on Thursday morning an old key in the lock of the door. It was inserted by some sacrilegious sinner sinisterly moved. As the key did not fit no dam age was done. We have before cautioned the citizens of this town and county to be watchful -that there are thieves about only waiting opportunity for evil there is no doubt. The closed doors and windows on the other side of the square, immediately opposite this office, does not look well. Why does not some enterprising spirit move in and make a splurge. Faint heart ne'er wvon fair lady. Speaking of ladies-Newberry boasts "Courtship is bliss," say the young and ardent, but it is spoiled by a crusty bachelor, who says "tiat matrimony is blister." What does he know about it? 'Tis sweet to sit at eventide Some willin' female form beside, And love-like purr and snicker; To feel, whatever devilish arts Are sund'ring other kindred hearts, You two are growing thicker. Newberry is from five to six hundred Jollars richer to-day than she would .inve been had Maggie Mitchell come ere. Many little debts can now be paid with the money thus saved. The 'handsome' notice of our two oung friends we are pleased to say did :lot bring about any unpleasantness. If inything it had a charming effect on all parties, the local not excepted. An editor says-we started out to ;hoot a squirrel the other day and six nen came up and paid their subscrip ions. They supposed he was out col- I ecting. We have tried. every dodge inder the sun except going squirrel iunting, and have invariably been lodged by delinquents. Now we will ry this new plan. Have you any Newberry HERALD'S hat's done been read over that you can ive a feller, asked a chap the other lay. Our subscribers not having re urned any as done read over, his bill ould not be filled. He went away sor- I owful. The demand for Almanacs at the IERALD Book Store on Friday last was { earfully great, and we were almost in ,lined to think that the immense crowd vho were in town that day did not ome to see the hanging but to getfree Ulmanacs. Bill Heads, Letter and Note Heads, Aonthly Statements, Notes, Circulars, ards, Invitations, &c., neatly, cheaply md expeditiously printed at this office. The Union-Herald declares that it ias the best Job Printer in the city, the Dolumbia Register claims having the >est in the State, and the Newberry EERALD takes both down by saying hat it has the best on the continent of merica. Several souls were made happy here ast week by the skillful operations of Prof. L. Marcuse, Surgeon Chiropodist, n extracting corns and bunions. This Local was among the number. The professor will return to Newb~erry short y. Several darkeys who came to see the banging, refused to credit the respite, mnd sat about on the various little knolls 3ommanding views of the gallows till dter nightfall. They thought it had een delayed through fear of a rescue. thers were so incensed at the disap pointment that they openly expressed a lesire to take the job into their own aands.
